The government in France has fallen
Paris, December 4 (Hibya) — The minority government led by Michel Barbier lost the confidence vote in parliament. This marks the first government to fall in this manner since 1962 and the shortest-lived government of the Fifth Republic.
The motion presented by the leftist NFP alliance received 331 votes from parliament members, while 288 votes were needed to topple the government.
Barnier, who has been in office for less than three months, is now compelled to submit his resignation and that of his government to President Emmanuel Macron.
This outcome deepens France's political crisis and represents a significant blow to the European Union, particularly as Germany prepares for parliamentary elections in February and Donald Trump is on the verge of returning to the White House.
